3 months! Bonfire on the beach

Yikes, time goes so fast and she grows even faster! Turned three month almost two weeks ago, I’m falling behind!




Rafael with our friends’ chickens :-)


The other weekend we made a bonfire at the beach with some friends. The kids made a sand cave!! It was pretty impressive! They also found a plastic car in the sand, and guess what!? It was made in Sweden by Viking toys!!!!


This is how the fort building started. They dig a big hole and covered it with things they found at the beach. There is a lot of “fort material” from the last hurricane. 



A couple of hours later they had made a big cave!



Watching TV..


Friends over



I think she is teething, chews on anything she can get in her mouth!

Cuteness, haircut, soccer and mushrooms

 I know that I post a lot of pictures of Maria… but she just has so many adorable outfits and she is just so cute in them!! 







❤️❤️❤️

Marlee making a goal!!! Both Marlee and Noah is playing soccer right now. Here they met a very intimidating team where all the players were really big. However, then ended up being giant teddy bears and Marlee’s and Noah’s team were told to give them at least one goal :-)


This is what I found when I came home from coop last Friday!! He looks so good!! 



Park day in bicentennial park. 


Look what I found!!! Chanterelles :-)



Baseball for the older ones. 



First picture with all 6!!!! 💙💙💙💙💙🩷

Mini Road-trip to NC

 Alex has a speaking engagement in North Carolina and we all decided to go with him for a Mina road trip. It was only about an 8h drive so not too bad.

We left late Thursday so we stopped on the way for the night. Gabriel decided to sleep on a blanket on the floor with Bubbles ❤️


We made a bed for Maria with a (folded) ironing board and a towel  

On the road again and reaching out goal Selma, NC.


Our hotel in Selma opened the day before we got there. No one had stayed in our room before us!!! That was a special feeling. 


Noah and Marlee trying out the gym :-)


It was good breakfast, too! Here David is “making” (letting the machine make) pancakes :-) A very exciting process!



All boys wanted to check out the gym!




Maria was upgraded to a more comfortable bed here (not that she seemed to mind the ironing board, lol).



Our hotel room they Boone else had stayed in!!!




The boys got their hats signed by General Flynn :-)



The cyber truck is always exiting so see! Gabriel made sure to get a picture. 


Look at these little angels when they sleep!!





Bubbles was on the trip with us, too. A great (but shedding) passenger in the car. 


North Carolina did not show me as many fall colors as I was hoping but the sky was completely blue the whole time. The weather could not have been better!!!


On the way home we stopped at Woods Bay State Park in South Carolina. Everything was great except the mosquitos. 






We got home about 10:30pm and it was time to get ready for coop the next day.
